You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 79

"Reporters rushed into the ward when Franklin was there to visit Granny that day. In order to cover up her illness, he staged this scene. This video has been edited. They were asking if Grandmother Holland was in the ICU behind."

Coralie stood still. She was nervous at first when she thought about explaining this matter to Skylar. It wasn't because she felt guilty, but she felt that these claims were unfounded. These despicable reporters had put together the bits and pieces and made it look like it was something real.

However, when it came to her explanation, she felt very relaxed. After all, it was just a misunderstanding.

"Really?"

Skylar frowned slightly and looked at Coralie. He was so tall, and when he looked down at Coralie, she felt an oppressive aura from him.

"It's true. Your friend Harvey was also there that day. You can ask him."

At this time, Coralie really felt that it was important to have a witness.

"Oh."

When Skylar heard this, his frustration seemed to have subsided a lot, and his anger dissipated gradually.

Coralie stood behind him and looked at the expression on Skylar's face. She couldn't help but ask, "When did you become someone who gets angry easily? Previously, you were not like this..."

In Coralie's memory, Skylar was always good-tempered when he was dealing with her. When he saw her, he always had a faint smile on his face.

However, when she thought of their reunion, it seemed that she had never seen Skylar smile since then.

It was as if he didn't know how to smile.

Hearing Coralie's question, Skylar's eyelashes drooped slightly. "I've always been like this."

In fact, Skylar had always been like this. He was cold and uncompromising toward his subordinates. Even his peers in the Holland family were a little afraid of him.

After he met Coralie in college, his whole person changed. At that time, as long as Coralie was by his side, he would naturally be in a good mood.

"Did you come back to ask about this? Do you still have to go to work later? Do you need me to cook?"

Coralie changed the subject.

She could tell that Skylar didn't want to answer this question. She didn't have to make a fool of herself. Also, Skylar's kindness toward her was all in the past.

Skylar looked at his watch. It was already past 11 o'clock. He went back to the entrance and changed his shoes. "Let's eat at home."

Sitting on the sofa, he took out his tablet and began to deal with business matters. Meanwhile, he turned on the TV to watch the financial news. His life had always been like this.

After a while, the sound of cooking could be heard from the kitchen. Skylar tilted his head slightly and noticed that Coralie was busy working in the kitchen with an apron. He felt a sense of warmth.

When he looked over, he noticed that Coralie's hand was scalded by the oil that had splashed out when she was cooking. She did not cry out in pain. She only washed her hands with water and continued to cook.

Skylar frowned slightly. He took out some ointment from the first-aid kit and went to the kitchen. He grabbed Coralie's hand with his fingers and asked gently, "Where did you get burned just now?"

"What?"

Coralie was cooking, but she was shocked when her hand was suddenly grabbed by someone.

"Where did you get burned just now?"

Skylar had already seen a tiny red patch under Coralie's thumb. He smeared it with the ointment.

Then, he reached out and used his hand to rub the ointment.

Coralie looked at Skylar as he applied the ointment carefully. She stopped what she was doing, and her face was slightly warm. She whispered, "Thank you."

He looked up at her red face. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond to her. Instead, he said, "If you can't do this well, let me know earlier. From now on, I will replace the part-time servant with a full-time servant."

His tone was not pleasant, but Coralie could hear that Skylar was concerned for her.
